Stage 3 (25-30 mins):

• Demonstration of these real-life examples like basic circuits 

1. Electricity: Basic electric circuit 

2. Computer Engineering: 

3. Engineering: Building a rocket/plane using rubber bands 

4. Physics: Pendulum activity to measure the time 

Math: Explaining how to solve basic math word problems

Stage 5:

Stage 6 (20 mins): 

• Groups of students will be created

• A number of topics will be given to them, and they can choose whichever topic they want their project to be based on

Stage 7 (40 mins):

• Introduce the design thinking process 

• Guided projects on a topic of choice

• Presentation on previous sessions to a new group of students (1 more session to work on their capstone projects).

Stage 8 (60 mins): 

• Once they have finalized their projects and made a basic prototype, they will be asked to present 

• A winner will be given a free kit or something to keep the students motivated

Stage 6: Create groups for students and give them a basic project to work on
